Bisley
« on: August 13, 2012, 01:12:37 PM »
I have a Colt Bisley in 32 WCF, it has 029" movement back and foward on the cylinder is it possable to shim it so it can be shot? If so do you shim it in the front or rear? Everything else look to be in fair shape. The serial # has it made in 1904.

Hello, clum Sum.  I too have a .32WCF Bisley..7 1/2" made in 1903.  The end of cyl. bushing was all burred up, so I took minimum cut on bench lathe to clean up surface.  Brownells sells the shims you need..they come in a packet of varrying thickness...no play in mine now!
